False. Not physical enough. see: playcalling this season. Short passes constantly. Screens. No receiver on the roster right now can win brawls outside the numbers with physical corners. They can't go up for the ball. Need physical WR on the outside to open up route tree for us.

I would say the offense did fine with those two as the top pass catchers. Antonio Brown, arguably the best WR in the league right now, is not the biggest, fastest, nor strongest guy. He's crafty as hell and because of that he wins on the outside. You don't need big, strong, fast receivers on the outside. What you need are good receivers. If they happen to be large, that's a bonus.

Also you're wrong about the passing game. All of our bubble screens were terrible. Snead and Cooks played well at all levels: short, intermediate, and deep. Cooks is obviously the better of the two on the deep balls because of his speed. If you think everything was a short pass then you must have been watching another team. If I'm going to criticize any part of Cooks game it's that he has very few YAC.

I mean we absolutely aired the ball out deep once Brees got his shoulder healed up. we've always thrown a ton of short routes too

Don't forget about our oline woes this year too. We should have been running more quick routes

That isn't really how our offense has been set up under Payton. We put the big, physical receiver in the slot and attack the seam. We were able to work the sidelines again this year, but that is mostly to do with timing

Lance Moore spent the majority of his time out there. Cooks, Snead, and another burner are perfect for that role in our offense. We need Coleman to step up inside
